This 38-minute play is dedicated to news photographer John Filo
for his Pulitzer image shot that fateful day, 4 May 1970, on the
campus of Ohio's Kent State University. Words, this play, books,
memories and newspaper clips relating to the killings will fade.
That Filo image will remain in visual archives so long as they
exist. In composing the speeches for this manuscript the
single dominating influence was an 11-by-14 inch black
and white glossy of that screaming 16-year-old runaway
over the fallen body of one of the four students killed
that day. In a measure this dedication to John Filo is
my salute to all street shooters working in the past
and today for ink-on-pulp newspapers.
